Actually, I do not know TIBCO, but Oren told me that somebody at CME --
obviously you -- used TIBCO to exchange FIX messages.

How did you implement sending FIX messages over TIBCO?

I fully agree, but I did not speak about changing QuickFIX, but
providing extra access methods. Probably they would have to be kept
separate from the normal package, since you probably need TIBCO
libraries, header files and stuff to compile such access methods.

In general, I think it would be nice to have such code in a "contrib"
section.
